WATCHED THAT DOCUMENTARY

ON THE AMISH THE OTHER DAY.

UH... THE ONE IN OUR QUEUE.

YEAH, YEAH, I'VE SEEN THAT.

IN THE QUEUE, I MEAN.

ANYWAY,

BEFORE THEY CAN BECOME FULL

AND PROPER AMISH PEOPLE,

THEY HAVE TO GO OU INTO THE REAL WORLD

AND EXPERIENCE I TO SEE IF THE AMISH LIFE

IS WHAT THEY REALLY WANT.

THEY CALL IT "RUMSPRINGA."

YEAH.

UH... DO YOU WANT ME

TO WATCH IT OR WHAT?

WATCH IT TONIGHT, IF YOU WANT.

I THINK THAT YOU NEED...

YOUR OWN MINI RUMSPRINGA.

JUST TO GET THIS

ALL OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM,

THIS... DOUBT.

UH, AND THEN YOU WANT ME

TO GET THE VASECTOMY, THEN...

IT'S NOT ABOU THE F***ING VASECTOMY, JESUS.

I WANT YOU TO DO

TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE OKAY
